Interesting article...

I'm a little suprised with the quote of

Magazine Article wrote: One of my favorite things about this machine is its extreme light weight and maneuverability.

Compared to a Harley or a Goldwing, yeah its light.

I thought that all the liter class bikes of that time were in the 500lbs range with the CBR900 being the lightest @ under 500lbs....
